Building peace through global connections

Come join us this Saturday from Noon until 2 SL time for a fun SL Peacefest promotional event

Sail for Peace!

The event takes place in Second Life at Mowry Bay and yacht club. Sailing will be followed by a party with popular DJ Massare Soon. During the party, sails will be given out for donations to SL Peacefest charities.

Even non-sailors may take part…the party and festivities will be enjoyable for all!

Late breaking news…..we have word that an anonymous donor is matching donations at Sail for Peace for L$ 25,000! What a super way to kick off SL Peacefest’s fundraising! Thank you Thank you Thank you!

Join the Peace Train group in Second Life for more information about this and future SL Peacefest Events!

RESULTS!!!!! See the comments below – AND the Donations tab at the top of the page for the fantastic donations PeaceFest received! Over 52,000 lindens donated at the Sail for Peace – Many many thanks to all donors, and especially to the anonymous donor who matched the first 25K in donations!

This past April we reached a milestone in our quest for Peace. The Peace symbol turned 50!!

It’s hard to imagine how a simple circle with lines has become the symbol for what we all long for. The mere sight of it invokes a sense of pride amongst those of us whom yearn to see a world without conflict.

Let’s all celebrate in our own way and think about what this image means to you. Let’s all Give Peace a Cake!

Peacefest performer Louis Volare, (aka Louis Landon) has posed a challenge to his SL friends, and real live cohorts by offering a daily free download of a brand new performance, a daily improv, for those of us who wish the war in Iraq to end. In the name of peace, he plays for us freely, every day. All he asks is that we share this gift with as many people as possible.

HIs music is so powerful it has brought me to tears….on more than one occasion. Here are his words on his gift to world peace:

I have decided to add a new improv to my MySpace page every day until the war in Iraq is over and our troops come home. It will be a free download. When possible, I will have a very short concert at the Peace Revolution! Center and will perform the improv that I will post at 9 pm SLT. If you take advantage of the free download, all I ask in return is that you e-mail the music out to as many people as possible and that you ask them to pray for peace. Together we can change the world.
Love and Peace Always and Everywhere,
Louis Volare aka Louis Landonhttp://www.myspace.com/louislandon2
